Activity Instructors

Closes 24th August - Starting September 2010

Join PGL, the UK's leading activity holiday company as an Activity Instructor. No qualifications required: we will train you.

Each year we recruit energetic Activity Instructors to inspire, motivate and reassure our young guests.

As an Activity Instructor you will introduce guests to a number of activities and deliver taster sessions including orienteering, archery, fencing, climbing, quadbiking, abseiling, high ropes courses and initiative exercises.

You will also help to organise and participate in our dynamic programme of evening entertainment for our guests, escort them between sessions and take them to mealtimes.

No formal qualifications are required for this position - enthusiasm about working in the outdoors with children is all that we ask for.

Experience of working or volunteering with young people will be an advantage to your application, but is not essential.

This role offers the perfect opportunity for you to begin your career in the outdoors industry and also offers the chance to gain valuable instructor awards as you progress.
If you are looking for a rewarding role in a supportive environment where the emphasis is on fun and self development, we want to hear from you!
You will also get the chance to live and work in some amazing locations with people from around the world.

You will need plenty of energy, diplomacy and the ability to relate to young people aged from 7-17 years, as well as the confidence to communicate with adult party leaders (teachers, youth workers etc).

If you join us in this role, you will undertake our extensive training programme with ongoing assessment. This will equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to help you do your job.
